Lip-syncing to a song is a
pastime that is listed in the same
category as drinking directly out
of the milk carton-you only do it
when no one is around. Some of
the best lip-syncing takes place in
America’s bedrooms where mock
screaming into a hairbrush in
front of a mirror is a common oc
curance. People even lip-sync in
the shower if they can get away
with it. And there is always the
“wait-til-your-home-alone”
method, best executed by Tom
Cruise in Risky Business.
On Thursday, Nov. 14, a select
number of Behrend students came
out of the lip-syncing closet to
perform at the Ist annual Air
Band Contest sponsored by the
Student Programming Council.
Attendance was outstanding. SPC

The Studio Theatre’s first production of this season, A:R. Gurney,
Jr:’s “The Dining Room”, opened with its first preview last Wednes
day, Nov. 13. There was an almost full house at the first show, and the
crowd seemed to enjoy the performance.
Dining Room a collection of unrelated scenes, all of which take place,
of course, in a dining room. Each of the six cast members (Sharon
Bums, Angie Busbee, Stephen Ciabattoni, Kitty Dilley, Kevin Kapaun,
and Joe Williams) have several different rolls throughout the play.
Tony Elliot, Studio Theatre Director, says he selected The Dining
Room because, “One of my considerations was this space (the size of
the studio theatre). And I’ve been fascinated by the play for years.”
The set is an elegant dining room, with a long polished table and
chairs in front of a large, curtained window. Other fine touches include
a rug, a tall potted plant, an a chandelier suspended from the ceiling. In
the final scene, the table is set with fine china, silver, and wine glasses.
The floral arrangement, set-off by slender candles complimented the
elaborate setting.
All of the cast members display a great deal of talent in playing their
many roles. Mr. Elliot said that “They’re to the point now where they
very clearly delinieate the difference between one and other, and they
play different ages from five.to eight-five, and it’s very, very challeng
ing. Everybody’s on stage a lot, and they’re different every time they get
out there.”
These diverse roles also require some lightning-speed costume and
hairstyle changes, which the cast handles easily.
Performances are scheduled for Nov. 15-17 and 20-24 at 8:00 p.m.,
with matinee performances at 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 17 and 24. The doors
open at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are five dollars for the general public, four
dollars for students and senior citizens, and two dollars for Penn State
Students. As Mr. Elliot adds, that the cast is, “very ready for an au
dience, very much in need of that give-and-take that you get with an au
dience. They’re ready to perform.”
